Dear Frozen in Florida

Dear Frozen in Florida, Did you seriously just complain about one 25degree day?? Before you start feeling too sorry for yourself I'm gonna set the record straight! Are you listenin girl? Did you know that Ohio had only a handful of days above 30 degrees for the entire month of January?? Did you know that in my area we got around 40 inches of snow this January??? Did you know that we almost broke the record for the most snowfall during a January month since 1979??? Did you know that every time we get more than 3 inches of snow I get to spend 90 minutes instead of the usual 45 minutes trying to drive to work?? My gas bill, just to keep my house at a lovely 65degrees chilly was just over $450 last month. And in case a left you with any doubt that I have it just a tad worse than you, I'm enclosing some pictures of my driveway taken about 10 minutes ago. The last 2 days have been "warm" you know, like upper 30's.

Photo number one is of my driveway after 2 days of thaw

Photo number 2. I was trying to show you in comparison

to the height of my garbage pale how much snow is piled on my lawn

here I was snapping a pic of my almost covered ADT sign.

also check out the height of snow in comparison with my bumper.

See how the snow is like 1/2 way to my kitchen window

So, Frozen in Florida could you kindly quit rubbing your lovely raccoon spotting weather in my face? and next time you feel like snapping a photo of "frozen" landscape, send me a pic of an orange tree instead. That way I can at least dream of spring!

Love always!

Chilly Chessie

That's One Big Dic........tionary

It has been a while since I posted any worthless pieces of information, but today I came upon a bit of info I just HAD to share... As anyone who reads my blog knows, I totally suck at spelling. Even with spellcheck I still can't get it together. I have a college degree, but that doesn't make me any better at spelling. I think I get this from my Dad. Every week while writing out the bills my dad would ask me how to spell the word ninety, or eighteen. There must me some missing links in the genetics chain. Anyways. Today, while responding to a blog, I couldn't remember how to spell the word rebuttal. Thank God! I looked it up, because I was way off. I always use dictionary.com to check my spelling cuz even if you are way off it usually guesses what your trying to spell. Today though.... Today... I found something I never found before... the mountain of awesome.... did you know they have audio pronunciations for EVERY word??? I know, I am way to excited about this, but really its fun. The words I plugged in today... Rebuttal, Fellatio. they have the "hear" button in 2 separate places. One is a mans voice. The other a woman's. so I've been alternating. wow this is stupid, but SO FUN! The last word I tried was Pecan cuz my husband and I are always arguing about the correct pronunciation of this. oh my god, must go back for more.

Just did this and thought it was fun!

I am a Dash!!!!!!

What Punctuation Mark Are You?
